The basic activity for child is play. Playing is a method to make kids grow up. Consuming the game children learn, discover, explore and get to know the world around them. Play provides children physical, emotional, cognitive and social development. Therefore, play is kids overall development. First participant in child’s play is his parent (mom or dad) and the other no less important is his preschool teacher. The preschool teacher plays an important role in the child’s development. It plays the most important role in a child’s play. Although he is not always an active participant he is the one who directs and develops children’s play. This paper will show the importance of the game, the role of educators in child development and great importance will be places on the role of educators in children’s play. Research was also conducted with the aim of gaining the opinions and attitudes of educators on the importance of the role which educators have in children’s play. The results of the research showed that older educators are less involved in children’s play. Also from the research is evident that educators who significantly value children’s play participate in it more. According to the results, the disconnection is visible between the center of employers and the level of education of the respondents with their involvement in children’s play. According to the theoretical part based on the professional literature and the research it is justified to claim that the role of educator depends primarily on his understanding of his role.
